refers to the close vertical packing together of the canes, like
people in a dense crowd. The patchwork quilt of one hundred or
one hundred and fifty canes in a close millefiori paperweight
offers a sampling of many or most of the canes made by a factory,
and treats the eye to an almost endless variety."-Glass

most Clichy canes are composed of a center, an outer sheathing,
and the part in between, the whole design is often so reduced
in size, so beautifully executed, and so subtle in coloring as
to defy comprehension."-The Encyclopedia of Glass Paperweights.(See
